We had a long week last week and she finally got her Pamidronate on Saturday. We were hoping that it would work a miracle and that Molly would stop being fussy. She seems to be feeling better, but not 100%. My Mom got into town on Friday and that has made a HUGE help to my mental health :).
Molly's gums were bleeding last week when she was eating so we went to have a check up with her dentist. Her teeth have worn down quite a bit and it is time to schedule her surgery. This was news that Jim and I were not ready for and has been a bit challenging to digest. We have scheduled the surgery for September 17th, but if there is a cancellation it could be a lot sooner. It is hard to prepare for yet another surgery, especially at a different hospital where I am not as confident that the staff will know how to handle her. I know I will be sure to educate the staff between now and then.
Molly has been walking for many minutes at a time and today for the first time walked down the ramp (our front stairs), down the driveway and was starting to walk down the street. We need to be sure that we don't let her overdo it to quickly or she might be sore for quite some time. We are still giving her Ibuprofen for pain to manage general pain as well as pain she is complaining of in her knees.
I have a lot more to update, but I am too tired to write anymore tonight...
